Not an easy day. Started out with a voice mail from United Airlines telling us that our flight to Cincinnati tonight is canceled. The helpful reservations agent was happy to put us on a flight tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, it would arrive an hour after we’re due to start auditions 
tomorrow morning. Anticipate needing lots of caffeine to get through today (at left). Four ventis for two people. That’s 80 ounces of coffee. 2.37 liters. Even I think that sounds obscene.
Got onto an American airlines flight that leaves a few hours later than the originally scheduled one (it’s theoretical, of course, because we’re still sitting in the airport, so we’re not strictly on the flight yet…). Of course, changing one’s flight to a one-way ticket mere hours before departure is a threatening thing to do, so we were singled out for particularly special treatment by O’Hare security. Getting tired and cranky. I’m not a good road warrior.
Thanks to the extra two-hour hang time here at the airport, the rest of today’s entry is given over to this year’s aria frequency list. It’s a summary of all the arias that singers have offered for our auditions, sorted by frequency of appearance. This list doesn’t reflect what we’ve actually heard people sing, but rather the choices they’ve offered. Please forgive typos, etc. Made an attempt to proof for accuracy, but there’s only so much time.
